From the date of inclusion in the registers, such organizations must comply with the rules for performing and accounting for transactions and operations with digital currencies and digital rights, and by September 1, 2027, bring their activities into compliance with the legislation requirements on digital currencies and digital rights.

Digital depositories may provide services for accounting and transfer of digital currencies and digital rights, granting clients access to address-identifiers where such assets are accounted. Crypto exchanges may buy and sell digital currencies on their own behalf and at their own expense outside of organized trading.

The appearance of the first participants in the registries is an important step in the formation of a regulated infrastructure for the Russian digital currency market.
